More From People Who Are Shy

I pretend that I am not shy, and it is very hard. I don't know why I do this, I just think people have stigmas about shy people. Like maybe we cut ourselves, or we are eternally depressed,etc, etc. I always pretend to be talkative and bubbly when I meet people, but really, inside...

When the blood runs to the face, when your heart beats wildly, when you begin to speak very fast and do not know what you are really talking about, you know your shyness is presenting itself. This is what happens to me, I feel it, exactly.
